    I went to see U2 in 3D last night at the IMAX theatre here in the Old Port of Montreal. WOW! I've never been to a U2 concert, but I'm sure that beats front row tickets!! At one point, when they do the song "Sunday Bloody Sunday", when he goes "wipe your tears away" Bono is so close to you, he can almost touch your face!! The concert was recorded in Argentina and there must have been hundreds of thousands of people there - literally a sea of people! And you're right on stage with them! If anyone has fantasies of knowing what it feels like to be a huge rock star on a stage, that movie will give you an idea of what it's like! And U2's music is so powerful! They play songs from their early days right up to their latest CD with "Vertigo" and "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own" which Bono wrote for his father. He is one cool dude! I had goosebumps the whole time they did "Pride (In the Name of Love)". If there is an IMAX theatre close to where you live, I highly recommend you go and see this. The New York Times called it "the first IMAX movie you can truly call a work of art"!

    Hey Diane!  That sounds amazing!  I've been to the IMAX only once in my life, and loved it.  I can just imagine how cool it would be to see a concert in that setting.  Wow!  Unfortunately, the closest IMAX to me is in Halifax... almost 5 hours away. 

    I rented a couple of movies tonight... "P.S. I love you" and "Kite Runners".  I'll let you know how they were!
